Students can form a team of max size 4/team. \n\n\n**Phases:**\n- Material for preparation\n- Setting up Infrastructure and testing it\n- Setting of challenges\n\n**Admins:**\n- Hemanth Chitti(Crypto)\n- Kartik Sama(Bin-Exp \u0026 Reversing)\n- Pranav Vardia(Forensics \u0026 Web)\n- Ruturaj Mohite(Web \u0026 Misc)\n- Sai Rithwik M(Forensics, Crypto and Misc)\n\n**Phase 1: Material for preparation**\n\nWe will be giving away [PicoCTF material](https://picoctf.com/resources) for preparation for this CTF. It is highly recommended to read this to get a clear idea on what to solve before solving the challs.\nYou are free to read the guides in any order. But this is the order we suggest:\n- [General Skills](https://picoctf.com/learning_guides/Book-1-General-Skills.pdf)\n- [Forensics](https://picoctf.com/learning_guides/Book-4-Forensics.pdf)\n- [Reversing](https://picoctf.com/learning_guides/Book-6-Reversing.pdf)\n- [Crypto](https://picoctf.com/learning_guides/Book-2-Cryptography.pdf)\n- [Web](https://picoctf.com/learning_guides/Book-3-Web-Exploitation.pdf)\n- [Binary Exploitation](https://picoctf.com/learning_guides/Book-5-Binary-Exploitation.pdf)\n\nFor educational outcomes on learning this, please refer to [this](https://picoctf.com/Pico-CTF-2018-Educational-Outcomes.pdf)\n\nPreparation from this hardly takes a week given you spend 1/2 hour atleast per day. You might also want to solve some challenges from PicoCTF too to understand how challenges work.\n\n**Phase 2: Infrastructure Deployment and Testing**\n\nTo host a CTF we need the following infra:\n- A framework on which our CTF runs. Our choice - [CTFd](https://github.com/CTFd/CTFd). Alternatives are [PicoCTF](https://github.com/picoCTF/picoCTF) and [FBCTF](https://github.com/facebookarchive/fbctf)\n- Cloud Infra/Servers and stuff- Google Cloud/ Digital Ocean/ AWS\nWe are not completely sure about this and might need some guidance regarding this.\n- DoS protection - Do we need it? If yes then cloudflare.\n- Domain name and stuff from Name cheap - Github Student Pack Credits/ some other way.\n\nThis is a [guide](https://medium.com/bug-bounty-hunting/zero-dollar-ctf-infrastructure-how-581c262c3509) which we are referring to.\n\nTesting the infra will begin 5 days before the event begins. Probably on 15th.\n\n**Phase 3: Challenge Preparation**\n\nWe shall be having challenges from the following categories. Beside the category we have an approximate count on number of challenges\n\n- Binary Exploitation(3)\n- Cryptography(7)\n- Forensics(5)\n- Reverse Engineering(4)\n- Misc(7)\n- Web(6)\n\nTotal approximate of challenges - 30 to 40\n\nTentative date by which challenges must be ready so that they can be tested, especially _Web_ is June 15.\n\nWe shall try to make the challenges as beginner friendly as possible. But we might increase the difficulty of challenges in some categories. Overall this would be a CTF which even a beginner could try working on. But we highly recommend you to look through the guides to prepare for this CTF.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgr455%2Fzensectf","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fgr455%2Fzensectf","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgr455%2Fzensectf/lists"}
